Best Answer

You must be 18 years of age to act as the plaintiff in a civil suit. If you are under 18 and wish to act as the plaintiff, you may do so by proxy of your legal guardian. If you are under 18 years of age, you cannot be named as a defendant in a lawsuit, however your legal guardian can sometimes be civilly liable for your actions.
